truck ram tv station
A bizarre incident in Baltimore Tuesday saw a man claiming to be the incarnation of both King Tut and Jesus Christ steal a truck and smash it into the local WMAR-TV station. According to the UK Independent, Vladimir Mehul Baptiste explained to the police that he did not want to hurt anyone, but rather wished to "expose the multiverses" by "closing the multiverse that WMAR-TV represented".

Baptiste is being charged with three counts of attempted second-degree murder, three counts of first-degree assault, theft of a motor vehicle and further burglary charges.

According to his curious worldview, people regularly disappear into alternative universes; recent examples include the missing Malaysian Airlines airplane and the 200 girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in Nigeria. He also believes that his parents were "running the multiverses" and need to be exposed.


This case follows others equally strange in the last few years, some of which involved the disturbing assault of innocent people, like those so-called 'zombie-attacks'. Back in February this year, some naked dude attacked a retired police officer, bit another man on the face and was only stopped when other cops shot him to death. Intervening deputies described the 'zombie' as having "superhuman-like strength."

In 2012 a Pennsylvania man, also naked and bleeding, gnawed on a woman's head while "screaming like an animal" during a wild neighborhood rampage.

Although there have always been violent criminals among us, the extreme irrationality - and in the 'zombie' cases, sadistic cruelty - behind this trend is way out there. What is wrong with people these days?

Perhaps it's no coincidence that in all human history we've never had so many toxic chemicals in our food supply, air and water. Lord knows how people's daily chemical soup affects the brain. The US FDA certainly doesn't have a clue what's in the food:
For more than 50 years, many in the food industry have not had to disclose information to consumers and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about the safety of chemicals they put in our food. Additives manufacturers have taken advantage of a dysfunctional regulatory system that allows for minimal or no disclosure, is plagued with conflicts of interest, and provides weak oversight of something as vital to our health as food.

For consumers, it's bad enough that most of the ingredients listed in packaged food have hard to pronounce names and we do not always know why they are there; we don't know how much and how many chemicals leach from the packaging into the food; or little is known about the safety of those chemicals because a small percentage are actually tested.

But it gets worse: Companies can add chemicals into our food without ever telling the FDA about their identity, their uses and (wait for it) their safety!

I guess it's not just the food. Is it outlandish of me to suggest that they're beaming stuff into our heads? It mightn't matter so much if you're aware of the dangers, but then who is reading scientific reports warning of the dangers of wifi and mobile devices? And that's just the medium. Most toxic of all has to be the dysfunctional messages from our media and politicians.

Any takers for a zombie apocalypse? I hear Ladbrokes are giving odds of 2000/1...
